RAP Policy (Formerly the CAC Policy)was approved and updated to better align with the current legislative environment regarding CACs and the new ACC Bylaw. The name of the policy has been changed to the Rezoning Application Alignment Policy (RAP). A number of changes have been made to the policy including adding the definition of Amenity Cost Charge and Section 11 has been included to clarify that any amenities secured through rezoning application negotiations guided by the RAP policy are separate from the charges imposed by the ACC Bylaw.
